Klaus Klausen Abo's parents were Klaus Klausen Abo in Soga om Sauda. His father was Klaus Sjursson Abo born 1726 and died 1797. His mother was Asgjerd Hallvardsdatter born 1723. His sibings were Siri b. 1750, Sjur b. 1755, Nils b.1756, Herborg b. 1762.
One of the mail siblings, is supposed to have immigrated to Chicago and was a policeman there. He disappeared from apparently knowing too much information. Have just received a picture with Chicago printed on it and a male relative with a star badge on his jacket. It looks like the name is Clausen on the back but in pencil and faded,so hard to read. Am having trouble finding information, as to which sibling brother it would be. I know it's not Klaus himself who immigrated.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you... |

See the 1801 census:
Claus Clausen (born approx 1767) has a son Claus Clausen (born approx 1796).
Note also that Siri Clausdatter b 1750 is married while the sister Herborg b 1762 is not.
Nils and Sjur are not recorded in Sauda in 1801.

Is the photograph really likely to be any sibling born in the 1750-60s? What type of photograph is it? A tin type? a daguerreotype?
Consider the visible age of the man in the photograph and compare that to the history of photography. Does he really appear to be old enough to be one of Klaus Klausen Abo's siblings? |

Have been checking information. Found someone with a book from Sauda. My grandfather is born in 26 Sep 1829 in Abo, Sauda. His siblings were Marta b. 1828, Njell or Njeld b.1831, Sjur b.1833, Gjertrud or Jer b.1833, Len b.1835, Nils b.1836, Lars b.1839, Ola b.1842-d.1860, Ragna b.1844-d.1877, Brita b.1846. This makes more sense than the 1700 dates..
The picture I have is a Cabinet Card-probably 1880-1890's. The one with the book found a small village named Abodalen and thought that might be what the name meant in front of their names on the back of the pictures. That means that Keats for the female, could have been born in Norway also, if this is so. Doesn't sound like a norwegian name though.
Checked on police in Chicago in 1800's and found a similar jacket. The buttons and badge are faded, so can't see a number on the badge. I have not finished checking that out yet. Been looking in the census for Klausen or Surson and am not getting anywhere. Am wondering if it could be one of the males from this list, that immigrated. It did not say in her book, except that Sjur Klausson had a wife and children.
Any help you can give for this would be great.
Thank you...
For Eibache..I did not see those names in the link you have below. Or should I go to more pages? |

| P.S. The cabinet cards seem to have started in America in 1866-1880 was one bit of information I got, for the type it was, with rounded corners etc. Meant to put this date down and not the other 1880-1890's. |

- searching for Claus Clausen will give this.

Opps sorry, he'd be my great grandfather. Getting tired from looking up information. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll print up the records you just sent tomorrow.
Looked on Ellis Island site and couldn't find any of them. They could use the last name Sjurson too.
Claus moved to Utstein Kloster and was buried there.
Thank you for the records below.

Volumes 1 and 2 of the "Soga om Sauda" by Arnvid Lillehammer are available at LDS Family History Centers to be ordered from their microfilm collection. The farm Abø is included in volume 2 beginning about page 191.

| Mange Takk again. Have contacted someone, who has the Sauda book. She is typing it out, to put on the internet, so everyone can read it and find information out for themselves. So it could have been Njell, Sjur, Nils or Lars who could have immigrated to Chicago. Too bad it didin't say in the Norway Records or books anywhere, that one of these siblings had immigrated. He may not have got off at Ellis Island either. Will just keep hunting and may eventually find something. |

| Thanks, it's nice to know the full date, instead of just the year. Now am wondering if there was anyone named Keats living in the same area, as Klaus Sjurson. Will have to try the census later and see if the name comes up anywhere. |
